Hello everyone.

I am using this strategy successfully, but now I wanted it to trade for me when I am away (as I just missed out on 30 pips, which is not nice after several losses to miss out on a profit :P ) but as I put that in, gave all its variables it started giving me a log after a random candle opened (not a cross at all).
And it didnt open a trade, but it is giving me logs... and as I am typing this the logs went up from 30 to 145 at the moment.
The log says: [string "MA crossover Strategy.lua"] Cannot recognize the host command.

Up to 180 logs now.

Anyone any ideas on whats going on here? and how to fix it?

What Trade Station version do you use?

AFAIK this stategy requires 01.09.101210 version installed or autotrading patch installed over older versions. I strongly recommend to update up to the latest version.

This doesn't seem to be entering trades, not sure what's wrong?

Hi, is it possible to add to the strategies/signals based on MA more options for MA methods? Specifically, at the moment, I'm looking for WMA/ MA crossover strategy. Thanks.

Can be the WMA added to the MA based startegy/signals to be able to include it into my own strategy ? Yes, No, Maybe...Thanks in advance.
